Gotta Have It: 69 Stories of Sudden Sex

$15.95

When you just can't wait to get to the good part, turn to Gotta Have It: 69 Stories of Sudden Sex, edited by Babeland favorite Rachel Kramer Bussel. From sex with neighbors to quickies with library patrons, unexpected trysts with coworkers to feverish encounters between long-time partners, these stories convey all the urgency and thrill of sex that's too exciting to put off for one more second. All 69 original stories come from writers of diverse backgrounds, and are short enough to satisfy you when you've only got a few minutes to sneak in your own solo quickie. (Or read them with a partner to ignite your own episode of sudden sex!)

The collection is well-written and there's a variety of stories to choose from, with the only connection being that they all get right to the sex. But- and you knew this was coming- it didn't push my buttons.

This collection of erotica has 69 stories that get right to the point -- there is very little contextual buildup in each story and each one gets straight to the smut. This style has varying results depending on the person -- some may need more context, and I have to admit that context works better for me. This is like any other collection of erotica in that the quality of the writing runs the gamut from hot and creative to unintentionally hilarious. But you know what? If you're looking for some inspiration and some access to erotic writing that may be outside your wheelhouse, no matter what it is, give it a try. There are so many stories, perspectives, and topics in this collection that you're bound to find something that piques your interest, maybe even something that hasn't appealed to you before.

This collection is quite long, which makes it difficult to remember any one story. Although there's a variety of topics and some interesting subjects (Godzilla, anyone), I found the writing to be better than the actual content of the stories. It seems as the sex is only incidental and few of them were really hot or entirely memorable. Read more here: http://ofsexandlove.com/2011/08/10/gotta-have-it/

If you want short stories with more meaning than a quick hook up than you may want to pass on this book. But if you like a little "wham bam thank you ma'am" every now and then then this is the book for you. And yes, that cover is just as delicious in person as it is on the computer screen. ;) There's something for everyone in this this book no matter how vanilla or hot your like it.
